SCA - Canada National Barista Competition 2024 - Judge Sharing

"From Asia to North America, explore the world of coffee!"

Imagine what it would be like if your hobby could become a career, and your career could allow you to go beyond Asia?

In March, the owners of Tasse Coffee Lab in Hong Kong and Tasse Coffee Roastery in Japan were invited to travel to Montreal, Canada, to become international judges for the Canadian Barista Competition. This has been an extremely challenging journey, filled with opportunities for close interaction with coffee industry players from across the U.S. and Canada.

As judges we have important tasks, which include sensory and technical scoring. In the sensory scoring, we carefully taste each cup of coffee, evaluating its quality and flavor from aroma to taste to finish. Every cup of coffee must be scored according to strict scoring guidelines to ensure fair and accurate judging. In the technical scoring, we evaluate the contestants' technical proficiency and passion for coffee. From station management to coffee extraction consistency, from milk handling skills to workflow efficiency, every detail shows the contestants' dedication and professionalism in the art of coffee.
